[ILoveBish]

old- and dont trust them:notorious for cancelling pricing errors-

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Got Kirby for $43 and Batman for $68.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Bomba? No, these prices are NUCLEAR!!!!

 

[Spikain]

Hooray, let's abuse the fact that someone made a mistake! Bonus points if they lose their job!

 

[Thoraxes]

They'll likely be cancelled if history is consistent. Unless you can pick them up in stores now (and looking at the list, no), good luck.

 

[redmetal86]

I wonder if they'll give out $10 e-gift cards again like the last time they cancelled orders.

That was the best day ever

 

[hammertomb]

Dont they always cancel price error orders?

 

[ahoyhoy]

These are hardly deep cuts, and they can (and probably will) just cancel the orders once they fix the mistake.

 

[salromano]

There's a couple of other weird ones:

Type-0 HD - $40.32
Tropico 5 (PS4) - $40.69

This one isn't really a deal, but weird:

LittleBigPlanet 3 Day One Edition (PS4) - $60.99

Anyway, I wouldn't really pay it mind. These are well before release and they'll probably send you an e-mail later notifying you it was an error.

 

[OSHAN]

Thanks OP. Preordered Batman.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I wish we had those price mistakes in the UK

Bomba? No, these prices are NUCLEAR!!!!

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Yeah I remember that last huge WM price error day lol. Best Buy is usually the only place that honors price errors.

 

[Jigolo]

I'm willing to take that chance. If they cancel the order so be it. But there is still a chance.

 

[suddenlyissoon]

WalMart will cancel this without even batting an eye.

 

[BriGuy]

WalMart will cancel this without even batting an eye.

Almost guaranteed. I wouldn't waste my time entering credit card info.

 

[TheSlySoul]

That is why I did it. Already had an account, so it took seconds.
I have little faith it will work, but you never know.
I am really sad about Persona Q though...

 

[Calm Killer]

Meh....no Xbox One.

 

[badboy78660]

WalMart will cancel this without even batting an eye.

Which is why you don't order from them. You price-match at Best Buy...

 

[Hero Prinny]

We need to get amazon to price match!!

 

[Camjo-Z]

these prices won't get honored but i'm in for KH3 anyway

 

[KojiKnight]

Which is why you don't order from them. You price-match at Best Buy...

Now this is a man who knows how to abuse pricing errors correctly.

 

[topplehat]

Walmart is pretty notorious for cancelling price errors, opt for a quick in-store pickup if possible.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

I'm tempted by Arkham Knight LE, but two things are holding me back: one, that I own a PC that would blast the console versions out of the water; and two, that this limited edition may not be quite that limited, like the Arkham City or dozens of other LEs before it. AC's eventually got down to $30 at one point.

I locked in KH3 and FFT-0 though.

 

[Shauni]

Wasn't aware that they charged you automatically if you went with Paypal. Well, no damage done, I guess. Even if they cancel it'll just go back into my Paypal account. I hate when stores do that. My fault for not looking at their FAQ first, though.

 

[jediyoshi]

If only Bayo2 or HW got the slip. Ain't got no time for no donkeys.

since when does BB pricematch a pre-order?

I read on the slickdeals page that they charge when you place the order anyway, regardless of PayPal or credit card.

I also am not convinced these are pricing errors.

They don't, but I'd love to see someone try. You may be able to convince some unwitting employee to do it.

Can they price match pre-orders? If so, then I'll give it a try

Bunch of folks on CAG have been able to do it over the phone. I imagine instore wouldn't be an issue.

 

[Cornbread78]

Funny thing is, they honored a lot of those at the stores...

 

[inki]

The Batman one looks good. Thanks! GL to those who get them at that price.

 

[itzknickknac]

Oh wow, over the phone is much more convenient.

ah so its a ymmv situation. well, my BB is run by elitist dickheads and them trying to comprehend anything is a stretch.

edit:snagged batman statue edition and MGSV and UC4 anyways

 

[Slixshot]

So if I preorder will they cancel or increase the price?

 

[akileese]

So if I preorder will they cancel or increase the price?

Could go either way. I've never had them honor a price error on preorder.

 

[Shauni]

I assume, since you already are charged for the thing apparently no matter how you pay, they would have to cancel your order, because I'm fairly sure they can't just charge you an extra amount without your permission, right?

 

[2spooky4me]

So if I preorder will they cancel or increase the price?

It will either ship at the reduced price (unlikely) or they will cancel the preorder (very likely).

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

I bought Smash Bros and have to go pick it up....if they don't honor that I will scream

 

[Einbroch]

Guys, they can't charge you more. It's illegal. You're essentially signing a contract when you buy or preorder something. They can cancel it, and you can not pay for it, but they absolutely cannot charge you more. This is why receipts exist.

There is no risk. But these are going to be cancelled.

 

[J-Skee]

Can you price match with Amazon? Would much rather go through them.

 

[malfcn]

Price matching pre orders are generally ymmv.

For online payment by credit, ATM, debit or check card:
The payment amount is authorized and held by your financial institution at the time you place your order. Your account is actually charged when your order ships.

Please note: Authorized and held amounts will not be available for other purchases. If an order is canceled, the authorization hold will expire in accordance with the terms of your bank or financial institution.
For online payment by Gift Card, eGift Card or Paypal®
The money is deducted at the time you place your order.
For in-store payment with Cash
If you create an online order reservation and choose "Cash" as your payment method, you will have 48 hours to pay for your order at a local Walmart store using a payment method accepted by the store. If you use credit, ATM, debit or check card, your account will be billed immediately. If you pay by check, checks will be cashed soon after tender.

In for Arkham, with no worries. Planned on getting the base from BBY with GCU.
If this goes through it would go next to the Arkham City LE that Amazon sent out for $50.

 

[Seth]

Amazon has SSB wii u for $52... walmart has it for $41 fyi

 

[E the Shaggy]

For preorders, does Walmart not charge you until the game ships?

 

[itzknickknac]

For preorders, does Walmart not charge you until the game ships?

They charge you as soon as you have made the pre-order. Not when it ships. I just got charged for 3 games at once (including Batman LE)

 

[rjinaz]

For preorders, does Walmart not charge you until the game ships?

They charge you immediately. I would be all over this otherwise.
